ARIS MINING COMMENTS ON RECENT SHARE PRICE VOLATILITY

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Aris Mining Corporation ("Aris Mining" or the "Company") (TSX: ARIS) (NYSE-A: ARMN) is aware of recent volatility in its share price and increased trading volumes. The Company understands that this activity relates to a secondary sale by Mubadala Investment Company PJSC ("Mubadala") of its entire shareholding in Aris Mining, comprising 15.75 million common shares. The transaction was completed between Mubadala and a broad base of institutional investors by way of a block trade through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Neil Woodyer, Aris Mining's CEO, commented: "Mubadala's Aris Mining shares became free trading in late June 2025, following the one-year hold period after the Soto Norte transaction. With the recent expiry of our exchange-traded warrants and the completion of this block trade, two significant overhangs have been removed, resulting in a broader and more diversified shareholder base. We continue to advance the Pre-Feasibility Study for Soto Norte and look forward to releasing the results in September." About Aris Mining Founded in September 2022, Aris Mining was established with a vision to build a leading Latin America-focused gold mining company. Our strategy blends current production and cashflow generation with transformational growth driven by expansions of our operating assets, exploration and development projects. Aris Mining intends to unlock value through scale and diversification. The Company is listed on the TSX (ARIS) and the NYSE-A (ARMN) and is led by an experienced team with a track record of value creation, operational excellence, financial discipline and good corporate governance in the gold mining industry. Aris Mining operates two underground gold mines in Colombia: the Segovia Operations and the Marmato Complex, which together produced 210,955 ounces of gold in 2024. With expansions underway, Aris Mining is targeting an annual production rate of more than 500,000 ounces of gold, following the commissioning of the second mill at Segovia, completed in June and ramping up during H2 2025, and the construction of the Bulk Mining Zone at the Marmato Complex, expected to start ramping up production in H2 2026. In addition, Aris Mining operates the 51% owned Soto Norte joint venture, where studies are underway on a new, smaller scale development plan, with results expected in Q3 2025. In Guyana, Aris Mining owns the Toroparu gold/copper project, where a new Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is underway and its results are also expected in Q3 2025. Colombia is rich in high-grade gold deposits and Aris Mining is actively pursuing partnerships with the Country's dynamic small-scale mining sector. With these partnerships, we enable safe, legal, and environmentally responsible operations that benefit both local communities and the industry.

If You'd Invested $1,000 in Berkshire Hathaway Stock 5 Years Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

Key Points Like all funds and portfolios, Berkshire Hathaway has underperformed from time to time. Warren Buffett's quality-oriented approach to buying and holding stocks has paid off of late. 10 stocks we like better than Berkshire Hathaway › Artificial-intelligence-related tech stocks like Nvidia and Palantir have dominated headlines and led the marketwide bullish charge over the past five years. But, not every market-beating stock has been an AI technology name -- or even a growth name -- during this stretch. Warren Buffett and his team have proven their mettle once again, leading value-oriented Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) to a market-beating performance of its own since the middle of 2020. Back in fighting form If you had you invested $1,000 in Berkshire Hathaway shares in early August of 2020, as I write this on Aug. 10, you'd be sitting on $2,221. That's an annualized growth rate of 17.3%, outpacing the S&P 500 's (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) average annual growth pace of 13.8%, or 15.5% when factoring in reinvested dividends. BRK.A data by YCharts Making this five-year run even more impressive is that Berkshire has performed relatively poorly since May. That's not only when Buffett announced his end-of-year retirement, but also when investors began shedding their defensive value stocks that Buffett's conglomerate holds so they could plow back into growth-oriented technology names. It's still well ahead despite the headwind. There's also some vindication in this market-beating performance. You may recall that Berkshire's persistent underperformance for several years prior to 2021's rekindled leadership was prompting criticisms and questions of his old-school stock-picking approach. The past three years have reminded everyone that patience pays off when you prioritize owning quality businesses rather than chasing growth. Buying and holding quality is always a sound strategy Don't misunderstand. Just as it did for several years prior to 2021, there will come another time when Berkshire Hathaway shares lag the market. That's just the nature of Warren Buffett's value-minded style -- it tends to underperform when investors are captivated by new, game-changing industries. Just remember the past five years the next time that happens, and the past three years in particular. A truly great stock is worth buying and holding even through the rough patches. Should you invest $1,000 in Berkshire Hathaway right now? Before you buy stock in Berkshire Hathaway, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Berkshire Hathaway wasn't one of them.

The outlook of the FSR is stable while the outlook of the Long-Term ICR is positive. Concurrently, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICR of 'bbb' (Good) of Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. (Kinsale Capital) (headquartered in Richmond, VA) [NYSE: KNSL]. The outlook of the Long-Term ICR is positive. These Credit Ratings (ratings) reflect Kinsale's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).
